Louise decides to remain in Brazil.

Reception

A review in TV Guide describes the film as a "Brazilian quickie," with "an aging Donlevy wasted as a private eye from the States who is tracking a murderer. [...] Not an elegant way for Donlevy to wind down his career."[2] A synopsis of the film at AllMovie describes the Donlevy character as a "gringo gumshoe."[3]
